Zahra Rahnavard’s message on the occasion of March 8th: Poisoning students is an anti-women scenario
Zahra Rahnavard, one of the leaders of the protests against the results of the June 2009 elections, which gained fame as the Green Movement, has published a message on the Word website on the occasion of International Women’s Day on March 8th. She referred to the widespread poisoning of female students as the ugliest and most tragic anti-women scenario. However, she did not consider it a barrier to the women’s movement in Iran.
In this message, Mrs. Rahnavard congratulated Women’s Day worldwide and expressed regret and sorrow for these days in Iran, where the killing of girls has emerged as the ugliest and most tragic anti-women scenario, carried out by reactionary forces with the support of the rulers, or their silence and pretending to be unaware. This revenge is being taken on innocent elementary, high school, and university girls because the rulers consider them part of the women’s protest movement for a life of freedom, which started with the leadership of women to seek justice for Mahsa Jannat Amini and to protest not only against mandatory hijab but against any form of oppression and authoritarianism against their personal and private lives.
